Department Guidelines
This course will satisfy one high school credit for HS21. Exam approved by the college math department will be used for an exit exam. A passing score on this exam is required for credit. Independent study may be approved by instructor on a topic related to mathematics. HS21 & ABE students will demonstrate progression by the number of credits earned during the quarter.
HS21 & ABE students will demonstrate progression by the number of credits earned during the quarter.
